About the Book

Under the leadership of owner Sheila Hamp, General Manager Brad Holmes, and Head Coach Dan Campbell, the Lions have emerged as a powerful example of what it means to build a thriving, positive workplace culture-a culture where humility, service, and respect drive success.
This book is not just about football; it's about understanding the true nature of workplace culture and the pivotal role leadership plays in shaping it.

The Lions' story offers a blueprint for any organization seeking to cultivate an environment where people are empowered, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Drawing from his own journey of growth, faith, and diverse life experiences, Parsch compares the Lions' success to organizations that have struggled with toxic cultures and misguided leadership.
